The T-bone impact sent the Oldsmobile into the southeast ditch. The Lincoln wound up on top of the median east of the intersection. Police said a third vehicle, a white 2010 Toyota Camry, also was struck, but the driver was not believed to be injured.

Extrication was needed to remove Hutson from the mangled vehicle.

The three occupants in the Lincoln were taken to SwedishAmerican Hospital. Their injuries were not life-threatening, police said.

Joseph R. Wilson, 38, of Rockford was cited for disobeying a red light, improper lane usage and driving on an expired license. A review of the crash will be conducted by the Winnebago County state’s attorney’s office for any further potential charges.
